Thank you so much

I did two versions of removing your shutters. I like the one with shutters on the left but not the right. I might change my mind if you do a drastically different trim color.

What color will the trim be painted? If it is dark, that might be enough definition without shutters. Without is more modern.

I like the ”totally without” photo. What a handsome, distinguished home. All it needs is some attention to the overgrown shrubbery. I love it.

Tozmo thanks for the visual, this helps so much. I agree shutters are too small so I leaning towards removing the shutters.

Rachel Lee I have no clue what color the trim will be, I thought maybe a lighter color to brighten things up, what do you think?

Little bug, thank you we moved in a year ago so tackling the landscaping is next on our list

Agree to remove shutters completely.
Dark trim....charcoal... and paint the posts to match.

HU I like the dark trim idea, I’ll look at some inspiration photos, thanks

I did some very crude visualizations of SW fan favorite, Urbane Bronze and SW Shoji White (not sure why it looks like two colors on the Soji one). You have some very nice detailing on your trim and porch. IMO, the dark trim hides that. RE: your landscaping, you could cut everything really far back and it will grow back to the size that works. Don't fear the shears!

Tozmo1 thanks for the visualizations it helps so much, the lighter does look nicer now that I can see it.
Don’t fear the shears, lol

Dark trim, skip the shutters.
